The Kit is a classic,

together with it's siblings the clap

and if my fuses aren't all burnt there was one more but I cannot recall
the name to google it.

Anyway. they're not very valuable as far as money goes (see the auction
above, not selling at 300 USD). I'd say 150-200 USD would be fair for a
Kit in very good condition, technically and cosmetically.
